ROM (Read-only Memory): A type of non-volatile storage used in computers and other electronic devices. It contains firmware that is permanently written during the manufacturing process and cannot be modified under normal computer operation. This makes ROM a secure place to store critical system instructions because they can’t be altered or deleted by malicious software or user actions.
